Very nice work. Judging from the attention to detail I bet you got pressures right on the money, sh and sc to spec... I like the way the line set is just perfectly routed. I dont see anything wrong with that setup. Keep up the good work, thanks for sharing..

Why does it need one? Sink under it with a concrete floor and floor drain?

I think he just meant that a couple ppl commented that you needed a float switch in a pan that isn't there that he couldn't see, and either could I.
I never put a safety pan with a switch in either unless it was in an attic, on a rare occasion, on a first floor set up.

Nice install, I would have liked to see a condensate float switch on the overflow, where is the trap for the condensate drain?
I know that Carried recommends that the filter drier be placed by the indoor unit, I take it that other manufacturers are also doing the same. Nice clean install.

We don't use overflow switches. Why all the sudden everyone pushing them with a horizontal application?

I have only been to 1 install we did to unclog a drain. Unico system in an attic with about 40' of drain with 6" of fall over that length. Took a few years but it finally plugged. Blow it out with nitro every spring now when we change filter. Takes an extra 5 minutes.

I guess because of the amount of wet floors and ceilings I have had to deal with, especially this year, might be my location that I deal with, whenever I have a flood situation I install a float switch so I do not have to deal with wet carpets and ceilings again, though I have seen them fail too.
